    Carb on a lawnmower.

    I changed out the carb today and it fired right up and ran well. Despite not needing it, I mowed the back with no running issues. When I finished and went back to the driveway I found that oil was leaking down the front deck and dripping to the ground. I hosed it off and will have to look into...

    Carb on a lawnmower.

    So I got it to fire and run for about 5 seconds. It still shuts off pretty quick. I think the carb will be here in a couple days.

    Utah state had a sysadmin opening that I saw earlier this week. I'm also looking.

    Carb on a lawnmower.

    Took apart the carb and sprayed out the jets. Got it put back together and nothing. Found a video and took the carp apart again and cleaned the actual jets and put it back together and nothing. Tried to check the spark plug but didn't see a spark. Watched a video, tried to ground the spark...

    Carb on a lawnmower.

    When I first got the mower and it wouldn't start I figured it was the carb so I tried to pull it off to clean. The whole thing is plastic and I couldn't really figure out how to take it apart. It was probably after my meds had worn off for the day, but I'm sure I gave up pretty quick. I...

    Carb on a lawnmower.

    I've gotten two mows in so far on my trusty honda and I've noticed the self-propel gears are slipping. Putting that aside, my brother gave me a toro super recycler 18 months ago when he moved from Utah to NCarolina. It wouldn't start when I brought it home but with the honda working well I...

    Nate’s longterm tiny shop build

    What herzog said, but I'd buy 1/2" conduit and run two lines of CAT6. If you're going to run one you might as well run two. I'd put that 1/2" conduit in the same trench though and start and stop at the same spot. Ask @moab_cj5 what he thinks of his wifi in the shop. Based on the picks you've...

    Nate’s longterm tiny shop build

    Are you doing something like a shut off panel outside that then ties into a sub panel inside the garage or are you going straight to the sub panel? Where is the box on the house that you have to run that line from? How far will that run have to go?

    Nate’s longterm tiny shop build

    I had to stop asking my neighbor about his tile work because it was driving me crazy. Same thing you guys are all mentioning. Just a ridiculous amount of money for stuff as simple as a backsplash or a little more work with a bathroom. My brother is refreshing his kitchen and asked for this...

    Nate’s longterm tiny shop build

    There is no way I’d pay $4700 to put electrical in a garage. Does the city require anything for their inspection? Like an electrical license? I’d do it for $1000 plus material but I’d don’t actually know what I’m doing. The city will inspect it anyway though so it’d be cool.

    What books are you reading (or listening to?)

    This book is dark. Half way through and it's making me think while I'm sitting at my kids school in the rain.

    What books are you reading (or listening to?)

    I started Blood Meridian yesterday. As I read it I hear the words in the drawl of Sam Elliot.

    Wrong way driving --- WTF? Seriously, how's this happening of late?

    DUI is a major contributor but its also a method to attempt to unlife yourself. The parleys crash on Dec 14 involved a neighbor (he was going the right way.) I hadn't met the kid but do know his parents. He was touch and go for a couple weeks but came home end of February. He got super...

    A big ceiling fan will/would be awesome in the heat of summer to move some air around.

    I just opened a Roth IRA, and am ready to invest in the stock market

    You can leave the Utah money where it is or you can open a rollover account. You wouldn't add this money to the new companies 401 though so it'll remain separate. Which is fine. When I left my Murray City job I had a few bucks in a 401k and opened a vanguard account with a rollover IRA and...

    What books are you reading (or listening to?)

    I watched the show and didn't realize it was a book until I saw it on a list last week. The library doesn't have a copy though which is lame.

    What books are you reading (or listening to?)

    Seems like I've replaced watching youtube and netflix at work with reading. I've gone through the Kingsbridge series by Ken Follett, (The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, A Column of Fire, and The Evening and the Morning) Essex Dogs and Wolves of Winter by Dan Jones, Ready Player One by...
